01 · COMMANDS

Snap and join modes from the menu bar. No dragging required.

Joint's join marker: a gold crosshair and border where two joined windows meet

02 · ELASTIC

Move one window, the group follows — the gold marker is where two windows are joined.

// WHAT IT IS

Joint explores a simple interaction: connect windows into a layout, then let the group respond when one window moves or resizes. The goal is a calmer way to manage repeatable desktop arrangements on macOS.
